We loved the tour! - We had a great time kayaking with our tour guide, Emma. The views were spectacular and we were able to see several different types of marine life. I would recommend this tour to see the San Juan islands from a kayak.

An amazing Kayaking experience with the perfect guide. - My wife has always wanted to Kayak near the San Juan Islands in hopes to see Orca. Anacortes Kayak Tours came highly recommended. We were a little tentative about kayaking in the open waters of the bay since we are seniors and have only kayaked on a fresh water lake before. All our concerns were quickly put at ease by our tour guide, Cora. She was not only very knowledgeable about kayaking and the history of the Islands, but she was such a down to earth person with who we shared stories about everything on our trip. I feel, not only, that Cora was the perfect guide but also like we made a friend. I highly recommend Anacortes Kayak Tours, and ask for Cora but I'm certain all the guides share the same professionalism.

Great trip with excellent guide Shelem - My wife and I, plus 2 female friends, shared a pair of double kayaks, on a 3-hour paddle with 2 other customers and our guide Shelem. The day was somewhat cool and cloudy but it didn’t rain on us and the trip was just perfect. Shelem was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the local plant and animal life. It turned out that he had also worked at a restaurant we knew back in Ohio so we had that bit of common bond. The entire experience was just wonderful.

Majestic experience - Our afternoon 3 hour kayak tour was majestic. We lucked out with calm glassy waters; we saw harbor seals, harbor porpoises, my son got to hold a jellyfish, and we tasted bull kelp leaves around Young Island. Cora, our guide, is amazing; she was thorough and helpful with a kayaking refresher (the pedals were new for us) and she is engaging bringing the bay to life for us and creating hands on learning for my fresh 5 year old. We loved our experience and if we make our way up to Anacortes Island again we will sign up for another kayak tour.

Knowledgeable and Fun Guide - We did the early morning kayak tour and it was wonderful. Our guide Jacob was knowledgeable about the sea life and wildlife we encountered. We were out during low tide so we were able to enjoy searching for starfish and other creatures on the shores of the islands we toured around. Everything from checking in on arrival and getting geared up was easy. I highly recommend this experience.

Misty Majesty - Our kayaking trip was exquisite even in some rain and drizzle. We saw porpoises, seals, huge bald eagles, oyster-catchers, a jellyfish, and other wildlife. The guide, Shalem, had a delightful attitude and clearly enjoyed not only his work as a guide but the natural beauty around him. Kayaking itself was a new experience for us, but a good one - I loved feeling the kayak gliding through the water as I paddled, & the longer we were out, the more confident I felt handling it. Two in our group sat in a double kayak while I and my niece used singles. All of us enjoyed the experience. I cannot wait to go again. My only advice is to wear gloves! I still have a couple of blisters on my hands. Otherwise I wouldn’t change anything. ATK is an excellent company that showed care and competence in all aspects.

Never Disappoints! - My husband and I rented a double kayak. We try to do this paddle every summer. The paddle is gorgeous and as a bonus we saw quite a few seals and a few bay porpoises. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable kayaking and about the area. I would highly recommend this tour. Never disappoints!
